The 'Why Is the FBI Here?' meme, often categorized with the 'FBI Open Up' or 'Illuminati: Don't Move' tropes, satirizes the idea of constant government surveillance. It typically features a screenshot of a highly specific or 'dangerous' Google search followed by a sudden notification or arrival of federal agents. This meme format gained significant traction in 2018 across platforms like Reddit and Twitter, capitalizing on growing public awareness of digital privacy. It is most commonly used to mock 'illegal' life hacks, bizarre intrusive thoughts, or anything that would theoretically trigger a government watchlist in a humorous way.
